Paul,

Don't know why, but every time I open one of your posts I get a message
about installing a Greek language pack.

Because he's posting in "text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-7", which is a
Greek character set.

Whoops, sorry. Posted a few greek things in my past, shanged it to -1
which I think Windows has by default, albeit old and american (no euro)

-15 is the euro version ... if only this newsreader did charsets though !
I saw your postings as clear if they were in ASCII :-)

I considered -15, but then figured someone might moan about windows
popping up an "you are reading an unauthorised post, if you wish to read
European messagese, please subscribe to 'Windows Plus', for only $49.99 a
year" or something.

You really should upgrade your newsreader. I'm not sure its wise to run a
"test" version thats 3 years out of date (is trn updated anymoroe,
apt-cache seems to think the latest version is 4.0-test76-8 or 3.6-17)

trn4-test76 is the latest, I've been running it for years ;-) True
development has stalled, but it's very powerful, and does what I
want, if occasionally slowly and with a lot of arcane keypresses :-)
Still if anyone sees this I'd be interested in an updated version with
character sets.
